What?

Well, in case you didn't know it, fluoride is highly toxic. In fact, before
fluoride was deemed a "cavity fighter," it was used as insecticide and rat poison.
It's true. Even more surprising is that when it comes to dental hygiene, fluoride
actually does more harm than good.

one of the reasons I moved to this little town is because the only thing in my water is water

No, no, no... Flouride uptake aides in remineralization to areas on the exposed tooth surface (either enamel or cementum). It can also heal incipient carious lesions. Being anti-flouride is actually common, but it's for stupid reasons. Why do you think several communites have added flouride into their tap water system to prevent cavities, SEVERAL studies have shown this plan has dramitcally decreased caries (or what the general public calls cavities).

Yes flouride can be fatal in excess. But guess what, everything is bad in excess.

Flouride rocks, its vitamins for your teeth, like calcium for your bones. So, my advice is, toothpaste with flouride is great. IMO, the best toothpaste would be Arm & Hammer Toothpaste Enamel Care, the stuff works wonders for your teeth!

It makes me happy knowing not only does NYC have some of the cleanest metropolitan tap water around, but that it also has a nice high fluoride content count.

No doubt!! NYC has got the best tastting tap water that I have ever had. It surprised me to find that out, but wow! That is some good water.

Back on topic, I usually use Crest Complete, but I change it around periodically. It doesn't really matter to me just as long as I brush at least twice daily. People that don't brush their grill are way down the line as far as people that I want to talk to. Especially close up conversation.
